Picture of the Week 20 October 2009

Postby Greg B on Tue Oct 20, 2009 5:39 am

This week's PotW has been selected by aim54x (Cameron)......Image

Cameron wrote:When I was approached to choose the picture of the week I was both shocked and honoured,
never having managed to snare a POTW myself. There were a large number of images for me to
choose from, and many images that were worthy of consideration. However, I must be forgiven
for choosing the image that I related to the most. It may not be everyone's favourite, but Greg's
image from this post, simply resonated to me. The darkness of the sky and cloud contrasted
by the fragility of the hang glider makes for a powerful image that has a strong eerie feeling.

Into the unknown, into the darkness....
